Fans of Amanda Holden couldn’t help but gush over a recent snap the star shared with her husband, Chris Hughes. The pair, who have been married since 2008, were all smiles in the lovely selfie to mark their “date night” alongside their two daughters.
Britain’s Got Talent judge, 54, Amanda wrote alongside the rare snap of her and 51 year old Chris: “Date night (except the girls are with us) so… Date night with the girls #family.” Fans quickly took to the comment section to share their thoughts, especially about Chris’s youthful looks. One fan said: “Your hubby looks about 19!” and another commented: “He totally does NOT look his age.. I forget how old he is but he’s older than her”, to which Amanda replied: “He’s younger than me! 52 this year x.”
More comments read: “Your hubby looks like a prince from a disney movie. You look like a princess. Beautiful couple” and: “Beautiful couple you both look so young x.”
One more follower admired Chris’s luscious locks, saying: “Your husband really does have the most fantastic hair. When you get on a bit, and you’re balding, you really do get jealous of men with amazing hair.”
Amanda has previously discussed her marriage to Chris, as she revealed his laid-back approach to life. She said: “Chris and I have always been able to find humour in the darkness. He doesn’t dwell on drama. Sometimes people don’t get his humour and I’ll say to him, ‘Leave the room, you’re not reading it very well'”, reports the Mirror.
“There’s no wokery in our house. We don’t hold anything back, and we have strong opinions. We try to have a date night every Thursday when we go to the theatre or have dinner, or we lock the door and watch Netflix and the kids just have to do their own thing. He’s a busy person as well so I get butterflies thinking about seeing him. We also wind each other up something chronic, but that’s why we’ve been together since 2003.”
Amanda also compared having a husband to dealing with another teenager, especially when she accidentally washed an expensive piece of his clothing, causing him to “hit the roof”.
“Yes it is basically, another one. I just scoop them [his clothes] up, I’m sick of it, I just scooped them up and put them straight into the washing machine. He comes up and he goes absolutely nuts at me, ‘Oh my God why can’t I leave anything where I want, without you…’ and I said, ‘If it’s on the floor it’s going in the wash!'” she shared.
“Anyway hung up, in our room where the washing machine is, is a hoodie and on the back is a huge picture of Animal from The Muppets playing the drums, and that is the top he was worried I had ruined.”
